Beware, older languages below! The languages below were invented during Tolkien's earlier period and should be used with caution. Remember to never, ever mix words from different languages!

Gnomish

noun. [unglossed]

adjective. enduring, long suffering; quiet, gentle, docile

Gnomish [GL/66; LT2A/Rúsitaurion] Group: Eldamo. Published by

rôg

adjective. doughty, strong

Gnomish [GL/65; LT2A/Rog] Group: Eldamo. Published by

rôn

noun. liver

The word G. rôn⁽⁾ “liver” appeared in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, but its etymology is unclear (GL/65). Q. rāna “moon” was written in pencil nearby, but this seems to be from an earlier layer of the lexicon, and may be unrelated.

Neo-Sindarin: I’d retain ᴺS. rôn “liver” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin, perhaps as a derivative of the later root √RON “solid, firm”, since (a) there are no later words for “liver” and (b) the word rôn does not appear with any other meaning in later writings.

A word for “the sea” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, derived from primitive ᴱ✶ou̯a and probably based on the early root ᴱ√’O’O (GL/61; QL/70).

rôma

A noun for “shoulder” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, related to G. ram “wing” (GL/64, 66) and so probably derived from the early root ᴱ√RAHA “stretch forward”.

tortha-

A verb in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “scorch” (GL/71), probably based on the early root ᴱ√TORO (QL/94).

brantha-

verb. to scorch

A verb in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s appearing as G. brantha- “scorch”, related to (and possibly derived from) G. brant “cooked, done; overdone” (GL/24).

Neo-Sindarin: I recommend restoring this confluence of Gnomish cooking-related words in Neo-Sindarin based on a Neo-Root ᴺ√BRATH “cook”, and would adapt this word as ᴺS. branna- “to scorch” to better fit Sindarin phonology.
